Enjoying the plenaries at #ICRS2026. Covering the range of reef science here are some highlights: Paul Kench - reef islands are dynamic systems and other marine carbonates like Halimeda and clams make up a small portion of these islands.

Prof Paul Kench stands on the main stage at the New Zealand International Convention Centre behind a lecturn with a large slide of an aerial photo of a reef island highlighting sediment supply.

I was "first in best dressed" at the #ICRS2026 first poster session and had some great discussions about coral geochemistry 🪸 My poster is number 22 and will take it down this evening if anyone wants to check out some preliminary elemental data from a coral core.

Don't miss @roycerk2.bsky.social's devastating longread for @drilledmedia.bsky.social "Now the bloom is underway, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. What was once considered a distant or theoretical impact of climate change is real and being felt."

“There Was So Much Death.” A Toxic Algal Bloom Is Ravaging Australia’s Southern Coast—Warming Waters Are to Blame.

Three ingredients are required for an algal bloom to get going – temperature, the right conditions and food. South Australia had all the preconditions necessary, thanks to climate change.

JFC this reads like a horror movie except it's been unfolding across a swathe of the South Australian coastline, indiscriminately killing all manner of marine life Yet another devastating phenomenon we're all going to become more familiar with in the advent of fossil-fueled marine heatwaves

Celebrating this Friday evening!! After 7 long months I can finally share that I have received an NSF CAREER award to study the link between bleaching and disease in cnidarians!! Stay tuned for more info about postdoc and graduate student positions!

Screenshot of NSF proposal status page. It has four columns, one with the partial title (CAREER: Characterizing the mechanisms linking bleaching and recovery to), one with the “Awarded” status, one with the status date (today) and one with the submission date (nearly a year ago).

I saw an excellent talk on targets but haven't yet been able to implement it in my projects. Future goals.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

In the Netherlands, nearly half of train journeys begin with a bike trip, giving the Dutch train station a unique look. Rather than large car parking lots, there are hundreds and hundreds of bicycles parked.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Maya Sen@mayasen.bsky.social · last yr.

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy Harvard & others must counter this quickly The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value
